Robert Hussey -- Candidate Profile -- Knows Real Estate

Wentzville's municipal election is April 8th -- not too far
away. The New Wentzvillian wants you to
be as informed as possible. We will post
candidate profiles for all of those candidates who provide a write up to the
New Wentzvillian. We will not alter what the candidate provides. Here is
candidate Robert Hussey's profile for Wentzville's Ward 1.

My wife Heather, children Victoria (18), Nicholas (12), John
(8), Isabella (1) and I would appreciate your vote to serve the people of
Wentzville.

Reason for Seeking Election:

·Before my career in real estate, I worked in
city management and therefore have several years of full-time local government
experience. In addition, I also have a Master’s Degree in Public Policy
Administration with an emphasis in Local Governmental Management. I believe
this background will be a powerful asset to bring further economic development
to the city of Wentzville.

·

Out of the 17 municipalities in St. Charles
County area, the City of Wentzville has the fourth highest property tax rate.
As a former city manager, I was able to keep property tax rates for the city I
worked for at one of the lowest in the county.

·Wentzville is the city I've chosen to raise my
family. I want to make sure it's the
safest and most thriving area it can be, for both my family and yours.

Top three priorities if elected:

I will use my previous experience and contacts
with MoDot to make the Hwy Z/Church Street exit perform more efficiently,
especially during rush hour.

I will work towards smart economic development
that has a measureable impact for the taxpayer’s dollars that will bring
quality jobs, help further support our first responders, grow our neighborhoods
and that in turn will provide more resources for our schools.

This economic development will then allow for a
comprehensive plan to be laid out helping lower our property and sales taxes. .

This guy is a real estate agent that will be heavely funded by the HBA. Notice he said "smart economic development" and "grow our neighborhood". Those are code words for reduce the standards for developers to follow and pass that cost off to future homeowners and reduce the minimum house sizes to move these lots. So everyone that already lives here gets screwed. I'd vote none of the above!

First, I have received no support from the HBA. In fact, if you look where my opponents larges sign are; they are on developers lands. So I think you can put two-and-two together. Your logic is flawed and let me explain why. Us Realtors get paid based on the amount of a sale. So, it is in our best interests to have property values as high as possible.

I will grant you that your signs are not as big as the others and it looks like your signs are are on residents properties instead of developers property so maybe the HBA hasn't purchased you. That's good news. If my math skills serve me correctly though, selling two $130,000 homes would pay better than 1 $200,000 home. You can sell a lot more $130,000 homes that's why the real estate agents want to reduce the minimum home size. I'm not that easily fooled!

First, thank you for recognizing that I am obviously not associated with the HBA. I am for the people. I cannot be bought out by special interests. From your statements, I'm gathering that you're not familiar with real estate. Yes, your math is correct. However, that would also mean double the work for myself, for only a little bit more money. My overall life and family are too important to be doubling my work load.

So again, I am for the people, and unlike my opponent, cannot be bought. If you'd like to discuss more about my views and stance on issues, please feel free to call me, I'd love to have a real discussion.http://aldermanroberthussey.com/
